Hi all, I am an international student and applied for MPP & MPA (Masters Public Policy / Masters Public Administration) in USA. These programs are at a renowned university and the issue is not the decision between these two but rather the job options as a foreign student. These two degrees land jobs in government sector mostly. Being an non-US citizen I would not be able to go for federal jobs (obviously) but what about state or local level of governemnt, or they are for citizens only as well? Can I work in non-profit, private, healthcare sectors? I would need to get a reasonably good enough job to pay off my student loan. Any tips/advice/suggestions welcome.

Were you able to decide about universities? I have been admitted for Biotechnology for Fall 2015 in USA

I have been accepted for Masters program in Biotechnology in USA. I will be attending as an international student, now I may cover the fees etc with loans but the job opportunities are scaring me. Is it a good enough degree? The reserach/scientists/lab technicians start with a very low salary. My program is general in the sense it includes marketing/budgeting/finaces with biotechnology but they do not guarantee intership for work experience. Any suggestions/tips etc?
